• D. Rs. $1800$, Rs. $400$, Rs. $810$

Answer 1

The correct option is A Rs. $1720$, Rs. $860$, Rs. $430$

Let the amount of money C gets be Rs. x
$\therefore$ Amount of money B gets $=$Rs. $2x$
Amount of money A gets $=Rs.4x$
According to question,
$4x+2x+x=3010$
$\Rightarrow 7x=3010\Rightarrow x=\frac{3010}{7}=430$
$\therefore$ Amount of money A gets $=Rs.(4\times 430)$
$=Rs.1720$
Amount of money B gets $=Rs.(2\times 430)$
$=Rs.860$
And amount of money C get $=Rs.430$.
